Formal announcement of gubernatorial debate in Worcester ignores independent slate EVAN FALCHUK/COURTESY PHOTO

Worcester Tree Initiative celebrates 30,000 trees planted worcestermagazine.com, October 6, 2014

If they are being honest, those involved with the rather ambitious effort five years ago to plant 30,000 trees by 2014 will admit to harboring some doubts about reaching that goal. It was set in 2009, a time when the Asian Longhorned Beetle was ravaging trees in communities around the country - and across the globe including Worcester.

“I think we thought it was a high bar to set,” said Peggy Middaugh, executive director of the Worcester Tree Initiative, which started in 2009 in the wake of the devastating beetle infestation.

The bar has not just been met, it has been cleared with room to spare. This fall, the WTI and its community partners are planting the 30,000 tree, in time with a few months to spare to meet the five-year plan. Actually, the number is at 30,025 - and growing.

BREAKING:

Dr. Rick Sacra does not have Ebola

One day after Worcester Magazine revealed that the independent candidate for governor are being excluded from a debate later this month at Hanover Theatre, the organizers have formally announced it - with no mention of the controversial decision to invite, then uninvite some of the candidates. worcestermagazine.com, October 7, 2014

Doctors at UMass Memorial Medical Center late Sunday night announced blood samples from Sacra, who was admitted to the hospital this weekend with a fever and cough, have tested negative for the Ebola virus. The news comes amid fears that Sacra, the Holden doctor who contracted the potentially-deadly virus in Liberia recently, may have suffered a recurrence of the disease. worcestermagazine.com, October 6, 2014

T

he topic of drug-affected babies is a difficult topic to write about. With the opiate epidemic escalating across the nation, especially in New England, researchers report one drug-affected baby is born every hour in the U.S. As the title of this week’s cover story, “An Unforgettable Cry,” indicates, drug-affected babies experience physical suffering. The NICU staff at UMass Memorial Medical Center has done much to improve the physical outcome of those babies in Worcester and to work with their families.

Worcester addictions specialist Dr. Jeffrey Baxter MD stresses that mothers who step forward to get treatment during pregnancy are doing what’s best for their baby.

Research studies show that many women with addictions were molested as a child.

Others became addicted while taking prescription medications for chronic pain.

Offering compassion and support to a mother in treatment benefits not only her but also her baby.

As Worcester Tech Principal Sheila Harrity readies to leave, school stands behind her

DID YOU KNOW?

o use a military term, they have got her six.

Sheila Harrity may have broken some hearts with her unexpected decision to leave Worcester Technical High School and walk through the doors to Monty Tech in Fitchburg, but her students and colleagues - crestfallen though they may be - stand behind her choice to become the next superintendent of the Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School.

Harrity signed a three-year contract recently. Her last day at Worcester Tech is Friday, Oct. 31. She starts her new gig Monday, Nov. 3.

“We’ve got her back,” said Yarileidis Paredes, a senior at Worcester Tech, who admittedly is sad to see her “special” friend leave. “I was an office attendant over the summer. It’s going to be difficult every single day not seeing her in the hallway, but I’m glad she’s moving on.”

Her classmate, senior Tiana Felix, said she has talked with other students over Harrity’s decision.

“I’ve defended her,” she said. “I just tell students, ‘You’ve got to look at the bright side.’ Like what she did for us got her this

Mixed emotions appears to be the appropriate expression for the feelings circulating the school in the wake of Harrity’s decision to leave the school system she has been a part of since 1989.

“It’s a bittersweet moment,” Kyle Brenner, Worcester Tech’s director of career and technical education, said. “I’m extremely excited for Sheila, but it’s just our loss. She is a tremendous mentor and colleague to work with.”

Staff members, he said, understand why Harrity is leaving, but it does not make any less bitter a pill to swallow.

“How do you say it? It’s like a loss,” Brenner said, adding there may be some trepidation among students and school personnel over who will replace Harrity, who is in her ninth year as principal.

“A tremendous amount of work and effort went into getting us where we are,” he said.

“I hope the next leader shares that. There is a little bit of uncertainty as to what’s next and who’s next.”

As circus returns to Worcester, failed exotic animal ban proposal recalled FILE PHOTO/STEVEN KING

Walter Bird Jr.

T

he circus is coming to town - again - and brings with it memories of a dramatic, if short-lived effort in the city to ban the animals that draw thousands of families downtown every year.

Starting Thursday night, Oct. 9 at the DCU Center, the lions, tigers and elephants of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will parade through the arena for seven shows over five days, much to the delight of squealing kids. One of the biggest moneymaking events for the city, this year’s circus theme is “Built To Amaze.”

Not everyone, however, will be so amazed - or amused.

“Absolutely,” At-Large City Councilor Konnie Lukes answered without hesitation when asked whether she remains opposed to the use of exotic animals in the circus.

“When we’re being told that elephants in the wild will be extinct in 10 years, why are we doing this? Their argument is they’re protecting them. They’re exploiting them.”

Near the beginning of the year, Lukes led the charge on a failed attempt to pass an ordinance banning the use of exotic animals in Worcester for entertainment purposes.

At a January Council meeting, several members of the public — the majority of them from outside the city — supported the ban and pleaded with city officials to adopt the ordinance. Councilors were chided publicly for taking up the issue, which Lukes originally brought forth last year on behalf of a constituent. The Council ultimately voted, 8-3, against the ordinance, but not after some theatrics, including one

Nearly nine months later, a repeat of that drama is unlikely, but it does not mean sentiments have changed.

“I would not be disturbed if this comes to [public discussion] again,” District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera said. She chairs the Council’s Committee on Public Health and Human Services, and was one of three councilors supporting the ordinance. In

addition to Lukes, District 2 Councilor Phil Palmieri was the other. “I know people might have felt some frustration ... but I [saw it as a way to highlight] some of the cruelty some of these animals go through.”

Rivera said there is enough entertainment that can be offered at a circus without involving animals.

“Five years ago I went to South Carolina and saw a circus,” she said. “There was not one animal, just spectacular performances

and entertainment. I understand the money, but when did we compromise our beliefs and values?”

As for whether there are more important and pressing matters for councilors to address, Rivera said, “We in council bring up things all the time, things that are important. That’s democracy. If I have a platform where I can talk about cruelty to animals, why not use it?”

On the other side of the aisle, At-Large Councilor Mike Gaffney, who in January was new to the Council after winning election last November, was against the ban. His position has not changed.

“I think it is a wonderful family event that provides the children with a first-hand experience of nature that cannot be duplicated on an iPhone or via an app,” he said.

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which is run through Feld Entertainment Inc. (FEI), generates a $1.5-million impact annually, according to SMG, the company that manages the DCU Center. That includes ticket revenue, concessions, merchandise, gas and parking for the roughly 20,000 visitors who attend the shows. That does not include the 250300 people who travel with the circus, stay at area hotels and shop locally, according to SMG. FEI, itself, is the single, largest producer of events at the DCU. In addition to the circus, it brings in Disney on Ice, Monster Trucks and Arenacross. In total, the DCU welcomes about 100,000 patrons for the four events in one season.

“We’re obviously happy the Council decided not to take this issue up again,” said continued on page 7

Stephen Payne, vice president of corporate communications for FEI. “It is an opportunity for area circus fans to come out and enjoy an evening of great family entertainment.”

Payne said the circus has evolved over time, both for entertainment purposes and to address concerns of animal safety. The circus and its alleged poor treatment of elephants has sparked lawsuits and outrage from proanimal rights organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which in the past has accused the circus of tearing infant elephants away from their mothers; using bull hooks, ropes and electric prods to stimulate animals; and confining elephants in box cars for up to 100 hours at a time. One lawsuit recently concluded after almost a decade with several organizations, including the Wildlife Advocacy Project (WAP), paying a settlement to FEI, after a court failed to find standings in claims filed by the plaintiffs over elephant treatment practices.

Before many of its shows now, Ringling Brothers holds open houses to show handlers feeding elephants. Payne said there is a team of people in Sri Lanka working with organizations that help orphaned and injured baby elephants. He said FEI does what it can to help preserve the approximately 35,000 remaining Asian elephants in the world.

“We’re very proud of our animal care,” Payne said, adding that includes the company’s handling of lions and tigers.

“Really, the animals come first.”

Critics such as Lukes, however, are not buying those claims.

BUSTED

TEENAGE TROUBLE: A 16-year-old boy landed in jail after police found him in possession of a semi-auto handgun early Sunday morning, Oct. 5. Several others were also arrested during what started as a traffic stop. Police pulled over a vehicle at Austin and Main streets around 1:20 a.m. after it drove through a blinking red light. There were five occupants moving around inside the vehicle, police said. After more police arrived, the occupants were taken out of the car. Police saw that the 16-year-old in the back seat had a semi-automatic handgun with a high-capacity magazine with 14 rounds. Open containers of alcohol were also found inside. The teen was charged with possession of a large capacity firearm, possession of an open container of alcohol, receiving a firearm with a defaced serial number, possession of a firearm/ammunition without an FID card and possession of a large capacity weapon or feeding device.

Two other teens, Justin Reyes, 19, 3 Cutler St., and a 15-year-old juvenile boy, both of Worcester, were charged with possession of an open container of alcohol. Raul Alicea, 23, 65 Mason St., and the driver, Francis Segura-Medoza, 24, 30 Hooper St., also were charged with possession of an open container of alcohol. In addition, Segura-Medoza was cited for failing to stop for a flashing red light.

to be feeling good about JetBlue service out of Worcester Regional Airport.

With the city about a month out from celebrating the one-year anniversary of airline service out of the oft-maligned airport, JetBlue recently carried its 100,000 passenger. James and Wilda Southard were the lucky pair, flying home to Edgewater, Florida on Oct. 1. It was about six months after JetBlue’s 50,000th customer, a Littleton woman, made her way through the airport. JetBlue, of course, has been offering twice-daily flights to Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida since November last year. No word, yet, on what festivities will mark its first anniversary, but given the city and airline have made big deals out of milestones like the 50,000th and 100,000th passengers, we expect some fanfare. The big day is Nov. 7, which will stir fond memories here at Worcester Magazine. We were lucky enough, along with a few brothers and sisters in the media from Charter TV3 and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, to catch an inaugural flight to Ft. Lauderdale with thenCity Manager Mike O’Brien and former Lt. Gov. Tim Murray. Ex-Chief Economic Development Officer Tim McGourthy was part of the crew, as was Mayor Joe Petty. Wonder if JetBlue will round us all up again for an anniversary fling?

GLORY DAYS: Sticking with JetBlue for

a moment, the company certainly does seem to have found a niche in Worcester, but the airport has not yet recaptured the glory days of 1989, when it served more than 340,000 people. As Mayor Joe Petty noted, however, having a bona fide commercial airline chugging folks to and from Florida was but a mere pipe dream not long ago. “This,” Petty said, “is a milestone that seemed so far out of reach just a few short years ago. The continued success of JetBlue and the Worcester Regional Airport is the result of great working relationships between the City of Worcester, Massport and all the customers who have taken advantage of the convenience that this service provides.”

SEARCHING NEAR AND FAR:

There are two big searches going on for replacement city personnel in Worcester.

With the City Council completing its search for a new city manager right in its own backyard by selecting current City Manager Ed Augustus Jr., the School Department and Worcester Public Library are now on the clock seeking new leaders of their own. On the school side, a new principal is needed for award-winning Worcester Technical High School, where award-winning principal Sheila Harrity, is off for (greener?) pastures as the new superintendent of Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School, a.k.a. Monty Tech. That leaves School Superintendent Melinda Boone with rather big shoes to fill. I mean, how do you top bringing the president of the United States to Worcester to preside over your high school graduation? Alas, Boone has promised a nationwide search for her star principal’s replacement. The city’s main library branch, meanwhile, is looking for a new director, after the man hired earlier this year, Christopher Korenowsky, lasted about as long as the marriage between Kid Rock and Pam Anderson (about five months).

Korenowsky ended up resigning. The Library Board of Directors has chosen Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager associates to lead the search for candidates. The library is also looking for a head librarian.

LIST-ERIA: We really do seem to be hung up on lists as a society, sometimes. When you look

at the organizations, groups or businesses behind some of these “lists,” it raises more than a few questions. Take a recent “Most Dangerous Cities in Massachusetts” list (We’ll get to who compiled the list in a bit). Worcester showed up as the seventh most dangerous city in the state, ahead of Boston, even. According to the data, published Oct. 2 and based on per 1,000 residents, there are 9.59 violent crimes annually, 35.10 property crimes annually and 44.69 total reported crimes annually. The city’s crime rate, according to the data, is 45 per 1,000 residents. And, if you go by the data, you have a 1-in-22 chance of becoming a victim of crime in Worcester. Of course, we are well aware of the crime problems that most cities face, and Worcester has acknowledged it is dealing with a particularly troubling trend of teenagers being shot. But it is hard to take a list of dangerous cities too seriously when you see that the outfit behind it is in the business of selling home security systems. That’s right, the data was compiled

by HomeSecurityShield. Take it for what you will.

{ worcesteria } LOCK AND KEY: It seems a fair question, especially with the mild controversy that has erupted over whether Bancroft Tower should be open to the public. It is, after all, in a public park. But it has a history of trouble that has residents like John and Mary Lou Anderson a little wary of opening it up and letting people inside. Park Spirit Worcester, an advocacy group on behalf of the city’s parks, did just that recently, and will do so each Sunday this month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. But it got us wondering: Just who and how many have keys to the tower? We assume some city personnel must, since the city owns it. Preservation Worcester has hosted events at the tower before, so they have keys. John Anderson, a former mayor whose house abuts Salisbury Park, has a key. He says it was given to him a while ago for emergencies. We’re told others have keys as well, but we are waiting on an official number from the city. Given the problems that have plagued the tower in the past, it would stand to reason the city should - and would want to - know just who has access, and whether they have made and distributed any copies. Then again, there’s always the simple solution of changing the locks.

DEBATE-GATE: If you do not follow Worcester Magazine every day online, you may have

missed the bit about the upcoming gubernatorial debate at Hanover Theatre. We reported that the independent candidates for governors - well, two of the three, anyway - were uninvited after first receiving a letter of invite that went on about how great an opportunity the debate would be to reach voters. Turns out that only stands for the Big Two: Republican Charlie Baker and Democrat Martha Coakley. The debate sponsors - New England Cable News Network (NECN), Worcester Area Chamber of Commerce, Hanover Theatre and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette - are not welcoming independents Evan Falchuk and Jeff McCormick, even though all four hopefuls were originally invited. NECN’s Mary Plansky apparently told the Falchuk and McCormick campaigns they did not merit an invite because their poll numbers were below 10 percent. The original letter of invite, of course, made no mention of such a requirement. Needless to say, the two jilted candidates (the fifth, Scott Lively, was never invited in the first place) are hopping mad. A spokesperson for McCormick, Pete Wilson, said the sponsors are “performing a disservice to the general public,� and called the slight “an outrage.� Falchuk, meanwhile, is accusing the media of raking in millions of dollars in ad revenue from the Baker and Coakley campaigns, suggesting a conflict of interest.

FLU IN THE WOO: There is almost an air of defiance when city health officials respond

to questions about the Ebola virus and the Enterovirus. Maybe you think the Zombie Apocalypse is just around the corner (you can get your zombie fix in a few days with the return of TV’s “The Walking Dead�). Worcester’s Commissioner of Public Health, Dr. Michael Hirsh, says folks should be more concerned about the flu than whether Ebola will become airborne, as was suggested by At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes at this week’s Council meeting.

With the recent hospitalization of Holden Dr. Rick Sacra for what was initially feared to be a recurrence of the Ebola virus he contracted in Liberia, as well as news that a nurse in Spain contracted the disease without having been to West Africa, concern has hit a near fever pitch.

But not among health officials in Worcester. “I feel Ebola is a low-risk problem,� Hirsh said. The Enterovirus, too, is not worth losing any sleep over, he suggested. Instead, people should not lose sight that the flu causes serious health issues every year. To that end, Hirsh is encouraging folks to head to the Senior Center on Friday, Oct. 10, from 2-6 p.m., where a flu vaccination clinic is being held. It is open to residents of Worcester, Grafton, Holden, Leicester, Shrewsbury and West Boylston - the communities that belong to the Central Massachusetts Regional Public Health Alliance.

Letters Play by the rules

It is gratifying to know the WRTA’s bus station is generating increased positive sentiments. It may have taken a couple of months after its opening last year for the WRTA to smooth out all the routes and schedules, but they have succeeded admirably, as I was certain they would.

It is also gratifying to know that the WRTA driver staff is an amicable group ready to provide the public with encompassing transit service, and can be consulted with general questions. However, that does not include intimate conversing between drivers and undisciplined passengers while the bus is in motion, especially in areas at or near the driver’s cockpit demarcated with lineage and signage. This notwithstanding the “normal” hazards of weather, traffic, lights, or crowding, to mention a few.

Look at it this way: legal society requires the donning of seat-belts for all passengers and drivers in the everyday motor-car, which the bus drivers have but bus passengers do not. Habitual distraction of drivers responsible for up to forty passengers by few obstinate individuals cannot be an option, and is especially frowned upon on the specialized downtown hub-loop route buses with warning signs within. Such emphasis would be a timely extension to the regular and smaller buses. More diligence is required by all responsible individuals on this focus.

Sunday, a sunny, crisp fall day, served as the perfect setting for the three statewide office candidates from the Green-Rainbow Party (GRP): Ian Jackson (Treasurer), MK Merelice (Auditor) and Danny Factor (Secretary of State) to make a public appearance. At Holyoke’s Lyman Terrace apartment complex, they and dozens of residents, celebrated the rehabilitation of the nation’s second oldest public housing site. The sturdy, brick row houses were slated for demolition until residents and two GRP members spearheaded an effort to save it.

As the three GRP candidates stood on Hamden St., flanked by happy residents, I thought,”THIS is what the state needs: politicians who care about the people and the environment!” On November 4, 2014 vote for politicians who will look out for all beings in this commonwealth- by supporting single-payer healthcare,

by NOT accepting corporate bribes (er, donations), and by considering all facets of a project (not just the finances).

Quinsigamond Community College celebrates Manufacturing Day August Corso

“W

e’re living in a science fiction age,” said Technocopia co-founder Kevin Harrington during a presentation at Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) on Friday, Oct. 3. “Fiction is becoming fact faster than we can imagine new fiction. It’s not just disrupting an industry, it’s disrupting industry.

Not an industry, industry as a whole.”

The talk was part of QCC’s second annual Manufacturing Day, featuring speakers from Running Start and Technocopia as well as a 3D printing demonstration and a showing of the film “Underwater Dreams.”

The day began with Ryan Leary, co-founder of Running Start, speaking to a small assembly of students and staff on co-working spaces and what manufacturing means today.

“Co-working itself is basically shared workspace,” said Leary.

“It’s very flexible, it’s membership based and the idea is that you’re around a bunch of different people and they’re all doing different things, but they all have something in common: they’re working on something.”

Immediately following Leary, Harrington took his place at the podium to discuss the philosophy behind Technocopia and creating with open-source, open-hardware and renewable resources.

Technocopia is an operating maker space in Worcester, similar to the co-working space Running Start, but Technocopia provides tools, as well, which include a CNC router, a laser cutter and a 3D printer.

Harrington emphasized the creation of nearly anything in the modern world from carbon and plant-based materials, which are universally accessible, making them economically and ecologically sound.

“Cellulose is plastic when you really boil down to it. Cellulose, that’s what the tree’s made of, well where does the tree grow from, it doesn’t grow out of the ground it grows out of the air, the carbon for the structure comes out of CO2,” he said. “The hydrogen comes from water, which falls as rain out of the air and then some trace little minerals. When you start taking a look back at what is possible with carbon, there’s essentially nothing that isn’t on that list when you zoom all the way out.”

QCC has a large manufacturing student base, and offers several two-year degrees, certificates and transfer programs in manufacturing technology, mechatronics, IT programming and engineering – all of which led Kathy Rentsch, dean of QCC, to find great importance in hosting Manufacturing Day. “We have a lot of students who outside of their formal studies are people that tinker and make things and I want them to understand that that is as important as what they’re doing in class,” said Rentsch. “We’re trying to provide as many opportunities as we can to bring that together.”

Currently ,QCC is in the process of building its own digital fabrication lab similar to that in Technocopia. The new building is expected to come on line January 2016.

An Unforgettable Cry

Every hour in the U.S., a baby is born who has been exposed to opiates in the womb.

Opiates are a class of medications prescribed to relieve pain, which can be very addictive.

Codeine, Hydrocodone, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Morphine and Methadone are prescription drugs and members of the opiate family.

Heroin is a semi-synthetic opiate, which is illegal in the U.S. and is purchased on the street. story begins on page 14

An Unforgettable Cry

Wanda Curtis

Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is the term used to describe the cluster of symptoms which may be displayed by babies whose mothers used prescription or illegal opiates during pregnancy. Symptoms often include diarrhea, vomiting, poor feeding, tremors, exaggerated startle reflex, seizures, skin breakdown, excessive sweating and/or sneezing.

“You can’t miss a kid who comes into the NICU with NAS,” said Worcester neonatologist Stuart Weisberger MD who provides medical care for drug-affected and other babies in UMass Memorial Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

According to Weisberger, babies with NAS are difficult to calm or settle. Nurses wrap the babies snugly in blankets to help them feel more secure. UMass Memorial has also solicited volunteers to help rock the babies.

Those volunteers are referred to as “cuddlers.”

The director of the NICU, neonatologist Alan Picarillo MD, said the response at UMass Memorial has been overwhelming. He said they actually have a waiting list of people who are willing to volunteer.

“We have a mix of retirees, mothers and so many people who are willing to volunteer – days, nights, or weekends,” said Picarillo. “It’s really great.”

Forever etched in the minds of many healthcare providers today are the shrill, high pitched cries of drug-affected babies which pierce the air of NICUs day and night.

Worcester’s Commissioner of Public Health, Dr. Michael Hirsh, said recently that once someone has heard the cry of a drug-affected baby, they’ll never forget it.

“It’s a blood curdling, high-pitched cry of pain,” said Hirsh, who is a pediatric surgeon.

Researchers at the University of Michigan reported in a 2012 Journal of the American Medical Association article that 13,000 drugaffected babies were born in the U.S. during 2009, which equates to one baby every hour.

They reported that on the national level, 3.39 of every 1,000 live births were babies exposed to opiates during pregnancy.

Picarillo and Weisberger were alarmed when they read that article, recognizing

immediately that the number of drug-affected babies they were treating in the NICU at UMass Memorial Hospital didn’t match up to the rate reported in the article.

“We realized that the numbers we were seeing were much higher,” said Picarillo.

After surveying those 42 hospitals, the collaborative reported that 17.5 of every 1,000 live births in Massachusetts involves a drug-affected baby and about 1,300 drugaffected babies are born in Massachusetts each year. The Maine Department of Human Services said that 73.7 of every 1,000 live births in Maine is reported to be a drug-

affected babies reported in Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont. In response to the escalating opiate epidemic in Massachusetts, Picarillo helped to spearhead a collaborative effort among a group of 42 hospitals in the state, which deliver infants, to investigate the prevalence of drug-affected babies here and improve their care. The group is known as the

According to Picarillo, the number of drugaffected babies treated at UMass Memorial increased from 47 during 2012 to 57 during

from heroin overdoses and also recognizes many individuals start out abusing prescription opiates and when they can no longer afford those pills, they switch to heroin.

Baxter reports about half of the clients he treats in the Worcester addictions program are women – some, he said, are expectant mothers. He advises it is very important for expectant mothers to get treatment to protect their babies from the dangers that may be associated with opiate abuse.

“It’s a good thing for mothers to enroll in a treatment program,” said Baxter, stressing it is a very positive step on the part of expectant mothers.

Alternating high and low levels of opiates in the bloodstream of expectant mothers can be detrimental to the health of babies developing in the womb and can contribute to preterm birth, explained Baxter. He added that “one of the primary purposes for enrolling expectant mothers in treatment programs is to help eliminate these cycles of drug use and withdrawal symptoms, and prevent pregnancy complications.”

Baxter said a baby may experience some NAS symptoms after birth from methadone and Buprenorphine used to treat the mother’s addiction. However, he said, those symptoms are less serious than the risks associated with a mother’s continued abuse of opiates during pregnancy – including the risk of HIV and Hepatitis C, if needles are shared, with injectable opiates. If mothers continue

{ coverstory } to abuse opiates during pregnancy, he said there’s also the very serious risk of overdose, which can result in the death of both the mother and baby.

“Treatment with methadone and Buprenorphine dramatically reduces the risk of overdose death,” Baxter said.

According to Baxter, clients enrolled in the addictions program at Spectrum Medical participate in weekly support groups and are actively involved with an individual counselor. Both medication and counseling are needed for clients’ recovery, and, Baxter added, people who have experienced opiate addiction usually need some type of lifetime involvement with a support group or counselor to remain drug-free. However, he said that not every individual requires medication for the rest of their life to prevent a relapse. He said that how long a person needs to be treated with medication varies from individual to individual.

UMASS MEMORIAL’S RESPONSE As part of the collaborative

effort to improve the care of drug-affected babies, UMass Memorial formed three committees. Those committees focused on consistent scoring of drugaffected babies, improved communication with families, and determining the most effective medication administration.

In regards to scoring, Weisberger explained they use the Finnegan NAS Scoring System to document the condition of drug-affected babies. The babies are assigned a score based on the severity of their symptoms. He said the scoring committee found a big variation in the way nurses on different shifts scored the babies. The committee put together educational materials that resulted in more consistent scoring by staff.

Weisberger said the NICU staff at UMass Memorial have also focused on building a relationship with the babies’ families to include them in the care of the babies. The nurses and physicians train family members how to care for the babies while they are in the hospital and also how to care for the

babies at home.

“It’s a team effort,” Weisberger said. “For example, we teach them to settle the babies before they leave the hospital rather than just putting them down and letting them cry.”

Weisberger explained the neonatologists at UMass Memorial offer to have a consultation with families before their baby is born rather than meeting them during a crisis situation at birth. He said they’ve developed a DVD which contains commonly asked questions and answers so families know ahead of time what to expect.

According to Weisberger and Picarillo, there has not yet been one set protocol for medication administration for drug-affected babies. Physicians in different hospitals have developed their own protocols. Weisberger said UMass NICU staff have seen the best results with liquid morphine.

“We’ve been able to decrease [drugaffected babies’] hospital stay to about 21 days,” said Weisberger. “They’re off all medication before they’re discharged.”

Weisberger said they discovered, by using a higher dose of liquid morphine for the first two doses, than they had used in the past to treat drug-affected babies at UMass Memorial, they have been able to “capture” the babies more quickly.

“When we previously started the medication, it frequently would take a day or so to arrive at a dose and/or [medication] level where the baby’s symptoms would subside significantly and be able to sleep, eat adequately,” said Weisberger. “By giving higher, earlier doses for the first two doses, we arrived at the baby being much less symptomatic and in a better state.”

Although doctors have been able to improve the outcome of drug-affected babies in Worcester, as evidenced by decreased length of hospital stay, both Picarillo and Weisberger agreed they are addressing just the tip of the iceberg, regarding Worcester’s escalating opiate epidemic.

“We work with the families well after the initial exposure,” said Weisberger. “We’re the end of the road.”

Weisberger said that the breadth of the opiate problem is huge. He said the magnitude of the opiate epidemic today is the result of a massive failure at many levels within the community — political, law enforcement and healthcare.

“This problem is bigger than I can wrap my arms around,” he said.

Artist Kat O’Connor’s strokes on display at Worcester Center for Crafts Jacleen Charbonneau

The art in swimming, while rarely seen on canvas, is now on display at an exhibition at the Worcester Center for Crafts (WCC), titled “Luminous Will.” The exhibit allows viewers to experience a world of swimming through the works of artist Kat O’Connor, whose paintings will fill the walls of the Krikorian Gallery.

“[The show] is really about [O’Connor] viewing something in reality, [like] people swimming in pools at night and seeing them as shapes and reflections,”said Honee Hess, executive director of the WCC, its focus to sustain the importance of craft in both local community and society. “I think people benefit from seeing how other people – in this case, the artist Kat O’Connor – look at the world and capture it aesthetically on canvas. Every time we see a different perspective of looking, it helps us to be better observers of the world.”

Painting seriously since age 15, O’Connor has continued to favor working with oils and acrylics. It was only the first semester of college that the artist switched her major from film and television to painting. “I always think that art is something that is not really a choice,” said O’Connor. “It’s been something that I have been doing all along … it’s what I needed to do.”

Once working with landscapes, O’Connor later discovered her passion for working with water, earning her multiple awards and recognition. Approximately 20 pieces showcased in the exhibition at the WCC, ranging in size from 31x43 inches down to a minuscule 8 inches square, O’Connor’s work reflects her love for H2O. “There’s something about water that seems to me to be basically a metaphor for painting. It’s this breakup of color and light. There’s some accuracy as to what is reflected there, but it is also fairly random,” said O’Connor. “Art certainly appears random, and that seems to be like painting. You make choices about what to do with your brushstroke … with your color. In water, colors move away. They disappear and they show up again.”

Each piece in the exhibition portrays a figure swimming in an environment controlled by the artist. With certain pieces, the swimmer is not in a recognizable pool of water, however, despite these unique environments, O’Connor still remains true in capturing the visual and metaphorical effects of the aquatic activity.

“I think when you’re swimming, there’s a feeling of aloneness, but not an aloneness that is negative, not that is worrisome,” said the artist. “You’re suspended, you’re surrounded by the water. I find it to be very, very peaceful.”

“Luminous Will” opens Thursday, Oct. 9, followed by an artist celebration Thursday, Oct. 16, from 5:30-

“One of the things we are doing with this exhibition, which we are doing more and more of, is collaborating with multiple organizations to help [artists] reach new audiences and help us reach new audiences,” said Hess.

Events involving community organizations include the exhibition’s artist talk on Nov. 13 at 6 p.m., when both members of ArtsWorcester, which O’Connor is an active member of, and the public are invited to attend.

GWAR Eternal: Fresh Wounds and Immortality Cade Overton

“Hello, may I speak to Oderus Urungus please?”

on to imply that I was a complete idiot for even asking, or maybe for even knowing who she was. “She’s just a fucking kid being a pop star. She doesn’t know any better. Don’t you people have anything else going on?”

And that was that. In that moment, I knew that Gwar was far more than some cartoon of a metal band. The incredibly elaborate latex monster costumes and the hilariously

Thus began my relationship with Gwar. Boy, was I green. Excitedly and nervously, I’d asked to cover their 2013 return to the Worcester Palladium, on the Madness at the Core of Time tour. I’d never even listened to a Gwar album. Yet somehow, here we are, less than a year later. Oderus Urungus is finally free, Dave Brockie has tragically passed, and I find myself, against the odds, a loyal Scumdog.

He refused to break character.

I wasn’t surprised, and to be honest, the voice of Oderus is just the voice of Dave amped up a little bit. I asked him beginner questions and played along with the press release. He recounted the epic battle to replace Flattus Maximus, their deceased brother, and told me in gory detail how Pustulus Maximus had emerged the victor, right there on the Antarctic plain in front of the Gwar fortress.

Prior to the interview, I was in the process of listening to sharp press releases, not to mention the Gwar for the very first time while at work, in decades-in-the-making mythology that is the historic library where I remain an ultraboth known and accepted by all Scumdogs, closeted metalhead. In my headphones I was are simply a facade for their true purpose: somewhere in the middle of the (essential) Gwar has identified the human citizens of “Scumdogs of the Universe” when a friend I had been brainstorming questions with texted Earth as an inferior species, and they will taunt us, thoroughly and intelligently, before me and said, “Ask him what he thinks of ceremoniously devouring all of us alive.

I finished listening to “Scumdogs of the I knew from YouTube that Gwar routinely Universe” even though I should have been executes/tortures/plays with the entrails of working. It utterly ruled. various celebrities and politicians (in effigy A couple of weeks later I went down to of course), so it seemed like a reasonable The Palladium to photograph the show. The thing to ask. Those of us who partook in other photographers had either trash bags such sensationalist television culture were on their cameras or waterproof housings for just coming down the back of some kind of them. I spent my time shooting frantically hype-wave, a tsunami triggered by a nearly and desperately dodging the fountains of fake unwatchable and grossly over-sexualized blood that poured forth from all angles. After event Cyrus had been a part of, in which I got my shots, I retreated to the middle of MTV had been complicit, and had dutifully the crowd to take it all in. broadcast directly into the fabric of our sorry It was somewhere in the middle of the culture. I can only assume this is the same sixth song that I realized what nobody talks event that subsequently enabled “twerking” about when they talk about Gwar. On stage, to become part of our collective (and at times, they are quite literally one of the tightest misguided) lexicon; the timeline seems right. bands I have ever seen live. Not only that, Today, I still find myself at a loss trying to but while the full band rips through a lengthy describe it, but Oderus had no such difficulty, set, an entire theatrical production also and he certainly had no qualms. He succinctly takes place. There’s a plot, and it is executed indicted all of humanity before I knew what perfectly. So are several celebrities. was happening. Such was his way.

Dave Brockie was in costume and on “Miley Cyrus is just a fucking distraction stage that night, and as a result I got to see to you stupid humans who don’t know any one of the greatest frontmen to ever live: better.” I decided to let him continue. He went 20 W O R C E S T E R M A G A Z I N E . C O M • O C T O B E R 9 , 2 0 1 4

Oderus Urungus. He lorded over his loyal bohabs, spewing satire and sarcasm and other witticisms. He was larger than life in more ways than one. His giant mutant prosthetic cuttlefish member swung freely mere inches from the crewcut heads of the security detail, who remained blissfully unaware.

Near the end of the show, they tore Justin Bieber to shreds. Blood and guts went

everywhere. I was a little put out; after all, I’d been taken to task for mentioning a young, distracting pop star. Here they were, honoring Bieber with an elaborate Gwar killing. But I know there’s a bigger picture. I know that Oderus, though notorious for freely vomiting anywhere and everywhere in the known universe, had his own plans, and they were more elaborate and clever than I’ll ever know.

Perhaps Miley’s time has not yet come, or perhaps the future will show that there are bigger fish to fry.

Sadly, Oderus’ time did come. In March of 2013 Dave Brockie was found unresponsive in his home in Richmond, Virginia. He died of an accidental heroin overdose, at the age of 50. All that he accomplished in his brief but full life will stand the test of time. For starters, he made a 27-year-old man fall in love with fictional, scary monsters for the first time since childhood.

Thus it is a testament to his monolithic existence that Gwar is still Gwar. It was easy to assume that Brockie’s death would close the book, but after sending Oderus off in a viking-style funeral ceremony at the annual Gwar B-Q 2014 in Richmond, the foul beasts announced their intention to set off in search of their “missing” brother, a fictional flourish that only adds to their insane penchant for continuity. They announced they would even be willing to go to Cleveland if it meant

finding Oderus. But who would be at the helm of the horrible ship?

As it turns out, no one creature is capable of filling the vacant, puke-flecked boots.

A fat, horned space viking from the past emergeth as the vile Blothar, and for the first time in many years, a female joins the ranks.

More specifically, a she-cyborg from the year 69000 whose sexual prowess is fearsome and unrivaled. In the words of a jubilant news story I read recently, “Hail Vulvatron!”

On a recent conference call, the vile beasts talked of their upcoming tour, GWAR Eternal, in which they will attempt to discover what has become of Oderus. It will bring them to The Palladium once again for the beloved Rock and Shock festival.

“GWAR loves Rock and Shock,” said Beefcake the Mighty.

Sawborg Destructo, whose moniker basically explains his purpose, emphasized physical conditioning. “I’m working on my saw, and trying to get buff for the tour. And to impress all the ladies.” But I wanted to know if Blothar was feeling any pressure due to the tremendous task of filling the heavy shoes of Oderus Urungus.

“Well, that is a ridiculous question, because Oderus clearly didn’t wear any shoes,” said Blothar. “So the answer to that is no, I’m not filling any of Oderus’ shoes.”

Though they will be one stench short when they arrive in town, the Antarctic space beasts are still excited to strut their heinous stuff. The main appeal of Rock and Shock for Gwar lies in their undeniable superiority. “There’s lot of people there, all of you humans who pretend to be scary and like, ritualistically kill each other in these, I don’t know, films, movies, I don’t understand these human things. It’s all so ironic, because we actually kill all these people!” spat Beefcake the Mighty, in an unsurprising display of bloodlust.

“And, I’m pretty sure, there will be an explanation of where Oderus Urungus has gone.” The mystery will be solved. “Goodbye, human.”

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

The Gwar Eternal tour will rage through The Palladium, 261 Main St., Worcester on Saturday, Oct. 18 as part of Rock and Shock. The day starts at 11:00 a.m. and includes Unearth, Dying Fetus, Darkest Hour, Decapitated, Carnifex, Origin, Thy Will Be Done, Acaro (Final Show), American Shark, Madison Apart, Conforza, Swarm Of Eyes, and Dead by Wednesday.

Multi-Platinum country star Clint Black to perform at Hanover Theatre Jacleen Charbonneau

Fans of country music in the Worcester area are in for a treat as The Hanover Theatre clears the stage for legendary singer Clint Black on Friday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. Billed as An Intimate Evening with Clint Black, the event will feature the musician from the south, front and center, performing hit songs.

Born in New Jersey in 1962 and raised in Texas, the country star grew up in a household that celebrated music. It was only in his early teenage years that he discovered his musical inclination, writing songs and playing both harmonica and guitar by the age of 15. Being in a band with his brothers, The Full House Band, gave Black the experience to eventually break off as a solo artist.

However, Black’s career as an unsigned artist was not enough to get by. To compensate, he worked other jobs alongside playing local gigs. Persistent with his musical career, Black eventually teamed up with guitarist Hayden Nicholas, known from the band Revolver, where the two released a collaboration together. Before long, Black was signed with record company RCA Nashville.

In 1989, Black was already making a name for himself as a majorly successful singer and songwriter. Upon the release of his debut album, “Killin’ Time,” the artist found instant success.

Who was once performing in local lounges was now climbing to the top of the music charts, with multiple smash hits (“Killin’ Time,” “A Better Man,” “Walking Away,” “Nobody’s Home” and “Nothing’s New”) and seven major awards, including the Academy of Country Music Best Male Vocalist and Academy of Country Music Album of the Year.

Just one year later, in 1990, did the country singer release his second studio album, “Put Yourself in My Shoes.” Also a wild success, Black had officially reached triple-Platinum status on both of his albums.

Now, in the country music industry for 25 years, Black holds over 20 No. 1 singles and 11 studio albums, including a 1993 album with the fitting title, “No Time to Kill.”

Aside from music, many may know Black for his famous black hat and 23-year marriage to actress Lisa Hartman Black, known for her role in the 1979 hit television series, “Knots Landing.” Black has also had his fair share of television gigs, appearing as himself in over 100 programs, including “The Apprentice,” where he worked to raise money for International Rett Syndrome Foundation. He has also acted in a number CLINTBLACK.COM

of films, including his most recent role as Toby in “Flicka: Country Pride” (2012). With a versatile career in entertainment, Black has grown a dedicated following of fans and the reputation of a cherished, true artist.

Black’s consistent track record promises an exceptional performance at The Hanover Theatre on Friday, October 10. Tickets for An Intimate Evening with Clint Black are available at thehanovertheater.org or at the theatre’s box office. Prices range from $39 to $49, depending on seat location. The show will run two hours and 30 minutes, which includes a 20-minute intermission.

Since 1986, New York artist Polly Apfelbaum’s work has graced the walls, though more often the floors, of galleries in Vermont, New York, Los Angeles, India, Austria, Ireland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

Worcester Art Museum (WAM) acquired one of her pieces, the 1997 creation “Blow-Up” — a title taken from the Michelangelo Antonioni movie — in 2000, and showed it, along with the work of three other artists, in an exhibition entitled “Painting Pushed to Extremes.” Desiring to bring the piece back before the public, Susan Stoops, who for 15 years has been the museum’s Curator of Contemporary Art, and Apfelbaum have put together an exhibition called “Nevermind: Work from the 90s,” which this time shows the piece in the context of the artist’s own artistic evolution.

“The works are not about perfection,” said Stoops. “The artist self-imposes rules, but they are breakable.” The work’s construction and appearance may call to mind routines related to the everyday, such as the folding and sorting of laundry, albeit with the

So even though “Splendor in the Grass, Glory in the Flower” does evoke the Elia Kazan movie — and for some, the William Wordsworth poem — and “E” refers to a book by Georges Perec written entirely without the letter E, these links are touchpoints or bridges for the

Polly Apfelbaum works to install her artwork at Worcester Art Museum.

While the exhibition’s title does allude to the arguably emblematic Nirvana CD of the period, the show is not an effort to express or expand upon any meaning the group may have intended but is instead a label evocative or representative of those times. Similarly, the titles of many of the individual works are taken from media and modes of expression such as movies and animation, poetry and literature, and quotidian cultural references.

Stoops points out that while it is often some such link to the world which produces Apfelbaum’s titles and grounds her work, the works themselves are abstract. paint becomes embedded in fabric, not just Apfelbaum has referred to her work as poured onto a surface. Color and light come “poised between painting and sculpture.” increasingly into play and take on added At the time of the earliest work in the show, importance as the work becomes “more the 1992 “Cinderella,” Apfelbaum had been experiential.” working with found objects. “Cinderella,” Stoops describes Apfelbaum’s way of a series of cardboard boxes with swatches working as a “combination of method and of crushed velvet laid atop each box, is the intuition.” She calls the work “radically exhibition’s most explicitly sculptural piece. provisional,” in that the separate, often cutFrom then on, Apfelbaum’s continuing experimentation with the boundaries between up pieces of each work are not permanently attached to each other.

alternately mesmerizing and consternating dotting of Wonderbread packaging constantly before one’s eyes.

In part due to the provisional, always reconstructed, and so in a sense always original nature of the pieces, Apfelbaum’s work “doesn’t privilege fixed meaning,” said Stoops. The notions of finished and unfinished become free-floating. Each new installation results in a different piece.

While some of the works depend on their placement near a wall or in a corner for a sort of framing, others, like “Wonderbread,” are there to be walked around. Each work, said Stoops, is “grounded in the viewer’s

Stoops said her aim is to exhibit artists’ works that are “part of a larger dialogue” about art and the art world, and in so doing keep WAM involved in that larger dialogue.

Missing links Jim Keogh

Not having read “Gone Girl” before seeing the movie, I was surprised when I was supposed to be surprised, and scandalized when events demanded it. The film, based on Gillian Flynn’s bestseller, is a terrifically executed mash-up of thrillers from some of Hitchcock’s best, to later gems like “Presumed Innocent” and “Jagged Edge.”

Ben Affleck plays Nick Dunne, whose wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has disappeared. Their small Missouri town rallies around the grieving husband until clues begin falling into place suggesting that perhaps Nick has something to do with Amy’s absence. The cops are rightfully suspicious, public sympathy morphs into vitriol, and soon Nick is the Most Hated Man in America (echoes of the Scott Peterson case).

It’s right about here that I’ll have to forgo any more plot details because “Gone Girl” is all about how the story loops around itself, introducing new strands of deception that leave you rethinking earlier assumptions — is Nick a decent guy in an overwhelming situation or is he a heartless killer; is Amy a victim or a secret psycho-bitch? Credit Flynn, who wrote the screenplay, and director David Fincher for keeping the intrigue afloat as long as possible until the plot goes down a particular path that makes it less a guessing game than a twisty head game.

Fincher and Flynn seem to have stitched together a handful of different films from a Whitman’s Sampler of genres — thriller, mystery, police procedural, even a courtroom drama, though there is no actual trial. In the 21st century era of instant media outrage, with the Nancy Graces of the world handing down verdicts before indictments are even issued, everyone is judge and jury.

“Gone Girl” turns downright baroque in the final reel with the introduction of an old acquaintance of Amy’s, played with subtle weirdness by Neil Patrick Harris. This concluding chapter was the least appealing to me; it was here that I acutely felt the echoes

of other movies and began questioning the probability of a rash of things I was witnessing. Even so, I have to give Gillian Flynn the ultimate compliment: having seen her movie, and knowing how the puzzle pieces fit, I still want to read her book.

FOOD HHHH1/2 AMBIENCE HHHH1/2 SERVICE HHHH VALUE HHH 7 South Main St., Millbury • 508-581-9700 • calabriamillbury.com

Ingredients for a perfect Italian dinner Zoe Dee

Calabria Ristorante, located near the center of town in Millbury, is enticing from the outside with patio dining offered on warm days and, through its large windows, two dining rooms softly lit and decorated with European influence; inside, the restaurant satisfies the intrigue with delicious, upscale Italian fare.

Open six nights a week, Monday through Saturday, the restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and offers a full bar with a good selection of bubbly, red and white wines, cocktails and both draught and bottled beers.

Dining on a Monday evening, Max and I

found the service to be friendly and prompt, and a complete offering of the menu, which sometimes is hard to come by on an off night.

After being seated almost immediately upon arrival, a basket of sliced Italian bread and packaged butter was served to our table. Soon after, our order of six Shrimp Cocktail was brought to the table. Shrimp can be ordered in any amount at $2.50 each. The jumbo shrimp were jumbo, indeed, six proving to be plenty for two of us to share, and came served alongside a horseradish sauce, a small bed of decorative romaine lettuce and slices of lemon.

From the Pasta Fresca portion of the menu, which features traditional and creative pasta dishes served with a fresh garden side salad, I ordered the Florentine Ravioli ($18), a more

enticing version of the traditional cheese or meat stuffed pasta pockets. The Florentine is made with diced and grilled onions, spinach, blue cheese, plenty of ricotta and mozzarella stuffed into four enormous, oval pasta pockets. The blue cheese transformed a traditional beloved Italian dish to a mouthwatering, succulent, I-couldn’tget-enough comfort dish. The pasta is served with a diner’s choice of sauce; I opted for the pesto.

Green, dense with fresh basil, creamy and oily at the same time, the pesto was some of the best I have ever had, and combined with the savory ravioli, arguably some of the best in the area, I declared this dish to be one of the best I have eaten at a restaurant in Central Massachusetts.

After a recent mishap at another restaurant, where Max ordered the Beef Braciole, but was served something different,

he decided to try and redeem the experience.

At Calabria Ristorante, the Beef Braciole ($18), is two slices of beef, rolled up and stuffed with cheese and a multitude of spices, and served in a generous portion of marinara sauce with basil. The spices inside complemented the meat very well, and the beef, itself, was cooked perfectly, to about medium while still tender. Overall, the dish is quite rich and surprisingly filling, and is an exciting alternative to the same old steak.

The dish is also distinctly Italian, and offers elements of both traditional meat dishes and flavors more commonly found in pasta dishes, for an overall effect that is simply mouthwatering.

Dinner for two, with drinks from the bar, entrees and an appetizer and/or dessert at Calabria runs upwards of $80. The atmosphere of the restaurant is at once one of a fine dining establishment, while also casual and comfortable, welcoming both those looking for a romantic evening out, and families. Central Massachusetts diners can find Italian fare almost anywhere they look, but for some of the most mouthwatering, freshly-prepared cuisine inspired from across the pond, look no further than Calabria Ristorante in Millbury.

Sociology Film Festival 2014 “The House I Live In”. As

America remains embroiled in conflict overseas, a less visible war is taking place at home, costing countless lives, destroying families, and inflicting untold damage on future generations of Americans.

Over 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for over 45 million arrests, made America the world’s largest jailer, and damaged poor communities at home and abroad. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever before. (Charlotte Street Films) “The House I Live In” is not a comfortable film to consider in any respect, but without discomfort it’s hard to feel anger - and without anger, it’s hard to imagine that anything will ever be done about it.” Mike Scott, Times Picayue. This event is Free and open to the public. 1-2:45 p.m. Worcester State University: Student Center, Blue Lounge, 486 Chandler St.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Gemma Kirby Gemma Querida Kirby, 24, hopes that one day she will be remembered as someone who led a fascinating life and left a positive impact on the world. She seems to be on the right path as an active member of the circus and starring this weekend as a human cannonball at the Greatest Show on Earth® at the DCU Center. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kirby grew up bouncing from state to state – Minnesota to South Dakota and eventually Alaska – moving 15 times as a child.

Kirby was homeschooled up until the 11th grade when she began to attend the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts. Graduating as valedictorian at the age of 16, she enrolled at Circus Joventas in St. Paul to explore a new passion – the flying trapeze.

Kirby developed a love for aerial arts and sought to combine her dance experience with a new kind of mid-air choreography. After four years of work, she appeared in the 2011-2012 season of Big Apple Circus. She stays fit while on the road by running, doing Pilates and strength training. She also regularly practices yoga, plays the violin and studies American Sign Language. Holding a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, Kirby said she would work toward a graduate school degree involving ASL if she hadn’t joined the circus. But for now, she will attempt the Human Cannonball stunt for the first time this weekend, something she considers her biggest circus accomplishment to date.

You are a human cannonball, how did that happen? I started my professional

circus career as a trapeze artist and I was contacted via Facebook through a mutual friend in the trapeze community who knew that Ringling was looking for a female cannonball and thought I had the prerequisites. He put me in touch with my coach - Ringling cannonball and Guinness record holder Brian Miser - and I began training only a few days later. I was excited for the opportunity to take my acrobatics to the next level.

Tell us about your very first experience.

Were you scared? My first shot was very

short compared to the distance I fly in “Built to Amaze.” However, I was still terrified and had no idea what to expect.

The sensation of flying out the cannon for the first time is indescribable. Nothing in

my 10 years of aerial training could have prepared me for the incredible force of being propelled at top speed into the air.

What goes through your mind in those few seconds while you wait in the stomach of a cannon? When I slide inside the cannon, I

first communicate with my trigger woman, Nadia, to confirm that I am in position and make sure she is ready for my signal.

I do this through a microphone that is rigged inside the cannon near the base of the barrel. Next, I adjust my body position and take several slow, deep breaths in a practiced rhythm that is always the same.

When I give the “Ready!” signal to the ringmaster, he begins his countdown.

When the ringmaster says “two”, I take a deep breath and hold it, and tense every muscle in my body as hard as possible. I do this in order to be aerodynamic when

the cannon launches me. It is absolutely essential that I keep my entire body tight and control every muscle in order to execute a safe flight and landing.

Tell me about the cannon, your flight and landing? How far do you fly? Do you land on a net? I fly out of the cannon at a speed of

65 mph, experiencing a G-force of 7. I fly 40 feet in the air and about 100 feet across the arena, to land in a huge, inflated airbag.

It seems like a mishap could end your career, have you had any? I have a great

deal of reverie for the level of potential danger involved in my job. I never approach a shot with a lackadaisical attitude. I have never been injured performing the cannon act.

Safety and getting shot from a cannon don’t seem to mesh. What are some of the safety measures taken to keep you safe?

I personally inspect the cannon inside and out before every shot, to ensure that there are no technical mishaps or malfunctions. I have a team that assists me in inspecting and maintaining both

the cannon and airbag.

How do you train to be a human cannonball?

Are you a gymnast? As a child, I studied many forms of dance, with a focus in classical ballet. When I was 13, I began intensively training aerial and acrobatic arts (at a youth circus school called Circus Juventas in my hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota). From age 17 to 23, I performed professionally on the flying trapeze for various circuses, traveling across the U.S. and Canada. I have never taken gymnastics.

How long have you been a circus performer?

What’s circus life like? I have been a

professional circus performer since age 17, I am now 24. The circus lifestyle is unique, nomadic and challenging. I love living on the circus train and traveling to a new city every week. It is difficult to spend so much time away from my family, but there is nothing more gratifying than when my friends and family come to see me perform.
